Title: Vehicle collision avoidance
Inventor: MATTHEW JOSEPH MEINHART
IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2017-06-01
Abstract: Vehicle collision avoidance method uses a computing device (105, fig 1) to identifying a target object, e.g. a vehicle 140, which may be moving or stationary, and predict a path 145 of the target vehicle 140. The computer device (105) predicts a path 145 of a non-moving host vehicle 101 based on at least one of a predetermined host vehicle 101 acceleration or speed and determines a threat number for the target vehicle 140 based at least in part on the predicted path 145 of the host vehicle 101. The threat number indicates a probability of collision between the target vehicle 140 and the host vehicle 101. If the threat number is above a threat number threshold a brake is actuated or a trigger is identified and a brake subsystem is actuated to apply a brake hold feature which may be released when an accelerator pedal has been depressed for a predetermined time. Reference is also made to a vehicle having a computer comprising computer readable medium with instructions to execute the method.

Title: One trip wellbore cleanup and setting a subterranean tool method
Inventor: JAMES L HOLLOWAY
IPC: E21B37/02
Filed: 2016-04-15
Abstract: A one trip method of cleaning a portion of the borehole and then setting a tool such as a packer or a bridge plug locates the cleanup tools above the plug with a ported sub to allow circulation of loosened debris. The debris is directed uphole from above the plug and does not have to pass around the sealing element of the plug or through bypass ports in the plug body. The plug is then positioned in the cleaned portion and set. The cleaning tools are released from the set plug and brought to the surface. These tools could be used to clean the portion of the borehole where the tool is set or clean the entire section above the tool on the trip out of the borehole. Cleaning tools can be filter, scrapers both fixed and movable, magnets, brushes and associated tools that centralize the assembly for more effective operation.
